Resolved Mis- or disinformation

Outcome

Not upheld

Overview

Complainant is aggrieved because the News24 article "has no statistical facts supporting it".

Background & Outcome

While the article is poorly written and could have been forthright and transparent about the Social Research Foundation think tank polling results it relied on, there is no merit to this complaint. The evidence exists. It was just not referenced properly. Accordingly, this complaint matches none of the criteria.
